IP blocks are changing every day, especially in that region. If you can accurately slice IP's by geoIP you'll be a billionaire. Maxmind sucks at it, regularly reporting IPs from Australia as Austria and Germany, and they're t

I was just making fun of the armchair psychologist comments, I'm not asking for anything. Nor am I offended. It's the internet.

It’s been interesting to see such polarising views in this thread. From the very start there are complete opposing views about what I’ve done. Ask I’m not sure it took too much guts given it’s anonymous. Take care, stranger!

I do find it interesting people jumping to NPD, psychopathy and sociopathy. My self esteem is at an all time low. Love the armchair psychologists. Sometimes you just wanna talk shit.

And they never will for the same reason email, IRC, forums and every other form of commnication gets gobbled up and surpassed by private companies. Open source software isn't driven by a dictator with a better vision - software project

I've got pretty healthy relationships IRL - I find it very difficult to lie to anyone I know, work with or have real life dealings with. It's not compulsive, it's a choice. This is just limited to the internet about unimporta

Apart from the shitty first link which happened almost 10 years ago and I still regret/think about - I don't think I am making it a worse place. There's a lot of incorrect and biased narratives all over the internet where use

eInk/ePaper displays aren't cheap and getting them cheap requires buying pre-loved devices. The only way to drive down costs right now is bulk ordering. Unless your time is worth less than say $25/hr, this is likely much chea

Small claims or tribunal. In Australia we have state based courts which you pay a small fee to, they’ll make a ruling and at least Google will give attention to the case it deserves. It’s annoying, but it’ll work.
